Metastasis-directed stereotactic body radiotherapy for oligometastatic renal cell carcinoma: extent of tumor burden eradicated by radiotherapy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We aimed to explore whether complete eradication of tumor burden with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) would affect the outcomes of oligometastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Materials and methods

Patients diagnosed with extracranial oligometastatic RCC (no more than five metastases) between 2007 and 2019 were reviewed. Those without nephrectomy were excluded. SBRT to all, some and no lesions were defined as complete, incomplete, and no SBRT. Progression-free survival (PFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method, Cox regression model and the Fine and Gray method.

Result

A total of 101 patients were included, 51.5% of whom had < 3 metastases. Forty (39.6%) patients received complete SBRT, and 61 (60.4%) received no or incomplete SBRT. The 1-year LC rate was 97.3%. The complete SBRT group had significantly longer PFS (26.0 vs 18.8 months; p = 0.043) and CSS (not reached vs. 55.3 months; p = 0.012) compared with the no or incomplete SBRT group. In multivariate analysis, ECOG 0-1 (HR 0.389, 95% CI 0.167-0.906, p = 0.029) and complete SBRT were prognostic factors for CSS (HR 0.307, 95% CI 0.108-0.876, p = 0.027). Complete SBRT was associated with improved CSS in the subgroups of patients with age < 55 years, ECOG 0-1, clear-cell histology, IMDC intermediate/poor risk, metachronous metastasis, and < 3 lesions.

Conclusion

Complete eradication of tumor burden with SBRT was associated with better survival in patients with oligometastatic RCC. The recommendation of SBRT to all lesions should be individualized.

Project description:BackgroundAndrogen deprivation therapy (ADT) remains the standard therapy for patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer (OMPC). Prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA-PET/CT)-based stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is emerging as an alternative option to postpone starting ADT and its associated side effects including the development of drug resistance. The aim of this study was to determine progression free-survival (PFS) and treatment failure free-survival (TFFS) after PSMA-PET/CT-based SBRT in OMPC patients. The efficacy and safety of single fraction radiosurgery (SFRS) and ADT delay were investigated.MethodsPatients with ≤5 metastases from OMPC, with/without ADT treated with PSMA-PET/CT-based SBRT were retrospectively analyzed. PFS and TFFS were primary endpoints. Secondary endpoints were local control (LC), overall survival (OS) and ADT-free survival (ADTFS).ResultsFifty patients with a total of 75 metastases detected by PSMA-PET/CT were analyzed. At the time of SBRT, 70% of patients were castration-sensitive. Overall, 80% of metastases were treated with SFRS (median dose 20 Gy, range: 16-25). After median follow-up of 34 months (range: 5-70) median PFS and TFFS were 12 months (range: 2-63) and 14 months (range: 2-70), respectively. Thirty-two (64%) patients had repeat oligometastatic disease. Twenty-four (48%) patients with progression underwent second SBRT course. Two-year LC after SFRS was 96%. Grade 1 and 2 toxicity occurred in 3 (6%) and 1 (2%) patients, respectively. ADTFS and OS rates at 2-years were 60.5% and 100%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, TFFS significantly improved in patients with time to first metastasis (TTM) >36 months (p = 0.01) and PSA before SBRT ≤1 ng/ml (p = 0.03).ConclusionFor patients with OMPC, SBRT might be used as an alternative to ADT. This way, the start/escalation of palliative ADT and its side effects can be deferred. Metastases treated with PSMA-PET/CT-based SFRS reached excellent LC with minimal toxicity. Low PSA levels and longer TTM predict elongated TFFS.
